916 or 857 depends on which pulley is on top. With the 6 drives some Chief 1550 turbos would be nice.

First Gun, 1st primer. Then even more fun Sanding. First Gun ( Bryce) loves to sand. I don't care for it much after the hours spent on it.

Many experts were contacted about drive height. Tommy at Chief, John Pompi at Marine Performance, Johnny T, some #6 boats were measured. Then we averaged it all and spent a day measuring. The boats are difficult to measure, long straight edges are required. This was measured 20 plus times to the 32 nd of an inch.

Looking good, going to be ready for key west???

Ran it 105 miles yesterday. St. pete, Sarasota, treasure island, longboat key, Egmont key Tierra Verde. Finding the right props is a pain in the a$$. Runs like a Rolex. But on with the conversion...

Bryce did a great job on the inside also, new triaxial glass

We will be in Key West, 13 th year for the boat

Cut outs done, sides of cut outs glassed back in. Ready for Transom assembles, after the Magenta paint

New paint on the transom....

Now we are having fun, the transom is done

Man I leave town for one day and in true Zero Patience style the whole six gun story is told you would think this Shizit happened overnight not the month plus long project it was ! LOL

That is very cool.

Also very cool to hear that those 800HP engines had almost 500 hours on them..... Had you done Top Ends on them???
